RIM's BBM music service to cost Australians $5 a month

The service will allow Australians to stream over the Internet to their BlackBerry devices songs from the Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and EMI.

"More than 45 million clients already love the social communication benefits delivered through BBM and we are thrilled to be extending the experience into a uniquely social and interactive music service," Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at Innovation In Motion said in a statement.

Complete track

RIM says each song will be a complete track, and all music will be available offline meaning users can access the songs wherever they go. It'll as well work so then in Australia, where streaming songs constantly over a 3G network could quickly add up in terms of costs for users.
